This is how you protest. Not with cutest signs, not with cringey chants. Not with stupid hats. You roll up your sleeves and fuck some shit up.
I never thought in 2026, that i’d be rooting for Albania and Iran. But here we are.
coming back to this, the bisexual woman with a bf hysteria is manufactured every year so that no one has to reckon with the queer people who are cops, who work for empire-aligned militaries, who work for arms manufacturers & who are conservative

It's what at least a quarter of my conversations have been about in my life. It's been a constant battle. Dozens of people. I've had to learn evasive driving. I've had to learn how to use weapons. I've had to pack up entire rooms in silence. To me, "parent" means bringer of death
